Clean sheets

4.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 9 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th of 18) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.32 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
  • Defensive volume. 4.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 17.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

Rated 50.1 overall — a solid contributor and squad regular. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
